A man has been covered in 13,000 sticky plant heads to parade through town in a 900-year-old tradtion to ward off evil spirits. Council worker Andrew Taylor, 37, has played the role of the “Burryman” for the last 13 years in South Queensferry’s annual parade – meant to ward off evil spirits. Andrew has been covered from head to toe in “burrs” – the sticky flowerheads of burdock plants in a nearly hour-long process to prepare for the parade. “It takes about 45 to 50 minutes to get ready,” said Andrew. “There’s around 13,000 to 14,000 burrs, give or take, but I haven’t counted them individually.”
